Septic Information

Leaking septic systems can add unwanted nutrients to the water, increase plant and algae growth in the lake, and even encourage the rapid growth of invasive species like Eurasian Watermilfoil. Not to mention the potential health risks to humans!

Recognize the signs of a problem:

Sewage odors

Algae on rocks

Sewage backing up in the basement or in drains

Slow draining toilets, showers, tubs or sinks

Puddled water or wet areas above the leach field

Coliform bacteria or nitrates show up in tests of drinking water from your tap or near your dock

Bright green grass over the leach field may indicate the effluent is coming to the surface

Biodegradable dye flushed through your system is detectable in the lake

A dense stand of algae or plants along the shore

The coliform count is too high in your bay, cove or inlet


Maintenance TIPS:

Limit the amount of water entering your septic system

Measure the level of scum and sludge build-up every year

Make a map of your septic system. This will make it easier to locate problems if they occur

Make sure your family and guests understand and help protect your system from overuse and abuse

Keep maintenance records of inspections, pump-out dates and problems

Never allow grease to enter your septic system

Know the regulations for building and maintaining a septic system in your area (Pumping/inspection is required every three years!)

Do not pour solvents, chemicals, medicines, etc., down the drain or toilet

Do not connect a sump pump to your septic system

Route stormwater away from your septic system
